"Thy kingdom come," on bended knee
Author: Rev. Frederick L. Hosmer Hymnal: The Hymnal #363 (1950) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: The Kingdom of God on Earth Discipleship and Service Lyrics: 1 "Thy kingdom come," on bended knee
The passing ages pray;
And faithful souls have yearned to see
On earth that Kingdom's day.
2 But the slow watches of the night
Not less to God belong;
And for the everlasting right
The silent stars are strong.
3 And lo! already on the hills
The flags of dawn appear;
Gird up your loins, ye prophet souls,
Proclaim the day is near:
4 The day in whose clear-shining light
All wrong shall stand revealed;
When justice shall be clothed with might,
And every hurt be healed.
5 When knowledge, hand in hand with peace,
Shall walk the earth abroad;
The day of perfect righteousness,
The promised day of God.
Amen. Tune Title: CHESTERFIELD
"Thy kingdom come," on bended knee
Come, Kingdom of our God
Author: Rev. John Johns Hymnal: The Hymnal #404 (1950) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Topics: The Kingdom of God on Earth Brotherhood Lyrics: 1 Come, kingdom of our God,
Sweet reign of light and love,
Shed peace, and hope, and joy abroad,
And wisdom from above.
2 Come, kingdom of our God,
And make the broad earth thine;
Stretch o’er her lands and isles the rod
That flowers with grace divine.
3 Soon may all tribes be blest
With fruit from life’s glad tree;
And in its shade like brothers rest,
Sons of one family.
4 Come, Kingdom of our God,
And raise thy glorious throne
In worlds by the undying trod,
Where God shall bless His own.
Amen. Tune Title: GARDEN CITY
Come, Kingdom of our God
The light of God is falling
Author: Rev. Louis F. Benson Hymnal: The Hymnal #400 (1950) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Topics: The Kingdom of God on Earth Brotherhood Lyrics: 1 The light of God is falling
Upon life's common way;
The Master's voice still calling,
"Come, walk with Me today";
No duty can seem lowly
To him who lives with Thee,
And all of life grows holy,
O Christ of Galilee!
2 Who shares his life's pure pleasures,
And walks the honest road,
Who trades with heaping measures,
And lifts his brother's load,
Who turns the wrong down bluntly,
And lends the right a hand,
He dwells in God's own country,
He tills the Holy Land.
3 Where human lives are thronging
In toil and pain and sin,
While cloistered hearts are longing
To bring the Kingdom in,
O Christ, the Elder Brother
Of proud and beaten men,
When they have found each other,
Thy Kingdom will come then!
4 Thy ransomed host in glory,
All souls that sin and pray,
Turn toward the cross that bore Thee;
"Behold the Man!" they say:
And while Thy Church is pleading
For all who would do good,
We hear Thy true voice leading
Our song of brotherhood.
Amen. Tune Title: GREENLAND
The light of God is falling
Son of God, eternal Saviour
Author: Somerset Corry Lowry Hymnal: The Hymnal #393 (1950) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: The Kingdom of God on Earth Stewardship Lyrics: 1 Son of God, eternal Saviour,
Source of life and truth and grace,
Son of Man, whose birth incarnate
Hallows all our human race;
Thou our Head, who, throned in glory,
For Thine own dost ever plead,
Fill us with Thy love and pity,
Heal our wrongs, and help our need.
2 As Thou, Lord, hast lived for others,
So may we for others live;
Freely have Thy gifts been granted,
Freely may Thy servants give.
Thine the gold and Thine the silver,
Thine the wealth of land and sea,
We but stewards of Thy bounty
Held in solemn trust for Thee.
3 Come, O Christ, and reign among us,
King of love and Prince of peace;
Hush the storm of strife and passion,
Bid its cruel discords cease.
Ah, the past is dark behind us,
Strewn with wrecks and stained with blood!
But before us gleams the vision
Of the coming brotherhood.
4 See the Christ-like host advancing,
High and lowly, great and small,
Linked in bonds of common service
For the common Lord of all.
Thou who prayedst, Thou who willest
That Thy people should be one,
Grant, O grant our hope’s fruition:
Here on earth Thy will be done.
Amen. Tune Title: IN BABILONE
Son of God, eternal Saviour
Rise up, O men of God!
Author: Rev. William Pierson Merrill Hymnal: The Hymnal #401 (1950) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Topics: The Kingdom of God on Earth Brotherhood Lyrics: 1 Rise up, O men of God!
Have done with lesser things;
Give heart and soul and mind and strength
To serve the King of kings.
2 Rise up, O men of God!
His Kingdom tarries long;
Bring in the day of brotherhood
And end the night of wrong.
3 Rise up, O men of God!
The Church for you doth wait,
Her strength unequal to her task;
Rise up, and make her great!
4 Lift high the cross of Christ!
Tread where His feet have trod;
As brothers of the Son of Man,
Rise up, O men of God!
Amen. Tune Title: FESTAL SONG
Rise up, O men of God!

Thunder Thy clarion, the lightning Thy sword;
Show forth Thy pity on high where Thou reignest;
Give to us peace in our time, O Lord.
2 God the All-merciful! earth hath forsaken
Thy ways all-holy, and slighted Thy word;
Let not Thy wrath in its terrors awaken;
Give to us peace in our time, O Lord.
3 God the All-righteous One! man hath defied Thee;
Yet to eternity standeth Thy word;
Falsehood and wrong shall not tarry beside Thee;
Give to us peace in our time, O Lord.
4 God the All-wise! by the fire of Thy chastening,
Earth shall to freedom and truth be restored;
Through the thick darkness Thy Kingdom is hastening
Thou wilt give peace in Thy time, O Lord.
5 So shall Thy people, with thankful devotion,
Praise Him who saved them from peril and sword,
Singing in chorus from ocean to ocean
Peace to the nations, and praise to the Lord.
Amen. Tune Title: RUSSIAN HYMN

Jesus Shall Reign Where'er the Sun
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Hymnbook #496 (1955) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Kingdom of God on Earth, The Missions Lyrics: 1 Jesus shall reign where'er the sun
Does his successive journeys run;
His Kingdom stretch from shore to shore,
Till moons shall wax and wane no more.
2 For Him shall endless prayer be made,
And praises throng to crown His head;
His name, like sweet perfume, shall rise
With every morning sacrifice.
3 People and realms of every tongue
Dwell on His love with sweetest song;
And infant voices shall proclaim
Their early blessings on His name.
4 Blessings abound where'er He reigns;
The prisoner leaps to lose his chains,
The weary find eternal rest,
And all the sons of want are blest.
5 Let every creature rise and bring
Peculiar honors to our King;
Angels descend with songs again,
And earth repeat the loud Amen!
Amen. Scripture: Psalm 72 Tune Title: DUKE STREET

Author: Rev. Sabine Baring-Gould Hymnal: The Hymnal #365 (1950) Meter: 6.5.6.5 D with refrain Topics: The Kingdom of God on Earth Discipleship and Service Lyrics: 1 Onward, Christian soldiers,
Marching as to war,
With the cross of Jesus
Going on before:
Christ the royal Master
Leads against the foe;
Forward into battle,
See, His banners go.
Refrain:
Onward, Christian soldiers,
Marching as to war,
With the cross of Jesus
Going on before.
2 Like a mighty army
Moves the Church of God;
Brothers, we are treading
Where the saints have trod;
We are not divided,
All one body we,
One in hope and doctrine,
One in charity. [Refrain]
3 Crowns and thrones may perish,
Kingdoms rise and wane,
But the Church of Jesus
Constant will remain;
Gates of hell can never
'Gainst that Church prevail;
We have Christ's own promise,
And that cannot fail. [Refrain]
4 Onward, then, ye people,
Join our happy throng,
Blend with ours your voices
In the triumph song;
Glory, laud, and honor
Unto Christ the King;
This through countless ages
Men and angels sing. [Refrain]
Amen. Tune Title: ST. GERTRUDE

Lord God of Hosts, whose purpose, never swerving

Leads toward the day of Jesus Christ Thy Son,
Grant us to march among Thy faithful legions,
Armed with Thy courage, till the world is won.
2 Strong Son of God, whose work was His that sent Thee,
One with the Father, thought and deed and word,
One make us all, true comrades in Thy service,
And make us one in Thee with God the Lord.
3 O Prince of Peace, Thou bringer of good tidings,
Teach us to speak Thy word of hope and cheer—
Rest for the soul, and strength for all man's striving,
Light for the path of life, and God brought near.
4 Lord God, whose grace has called us to Thy service,
How good Thy thoughts toward us, how great their sum!
We work with Thee, we go where Thou wilt lead us,
Until in all the earth Thy Kingdom come.

Blest reign of love and liberty and light;
Time long foretold by seers of every land;
The cherished dream of watchers through the night.

Shedding its luster on our darkened way;
And we behold, as pilgrims from afar,
The holy dawning of Thy perfect day.
3 Now gleams at last upon our waiting eyes
The glory of the Kingdom that shall be;
When truth in conquering grandeur shall arise,
And man shall rule the world with equity.

The flaming pillar leading on anew;
One in the faith of all Thy prophet band,
Onward we press to make the vision true.
Amen. Tune Title: PRO PATRIA
